Tunica Academy and First Baptist Church of Tunica Youth Camp will now be able to better serve the community thanks to the support of local farmer, Chris Perry, and America’s Farmers Grow Communities.Sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of Monsanto Company, Grow Communities provides farmers in eligible counties the chance to win a $2,500 donation for a local nonprofit organization of their choice. To further support counties declared natural disaster areas by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) due to the drought this year, winning farmers in these counties are able to direct double donations, a total of $5,000.
